Ask HN: Beer income ideas for a laid-off Nepali Jr.IT support?

3•shivajikobardan•18h ago

Say I make blogs about linux stuffs. What would be the best way to monetize it? Affiliates? But affiliates require conversions. I am not sure my audience can pay high. I do not get huge volume of audience for adsense to work well.

If I want to sell something that I created to Nepalese, there is no easy way to integrate nepali payment options like eSewa etc. So, what should I do? I am seeking guidance? I have only 2,5 years of experience so freelancing will be tough. Videos creation is probably the best way but making videos is just not my thing. I can write good scripts in fields that I am well experienced in that is all.

The era of making money from blogging was about 18-20 years ago unfortunately. Perhaps making videos on YouTube could yield better results, although unfortunately I don't know much about the Nepalese audience.

Another option would be to build a mini SaaS like the folks on IndieHackers. Find something business focused you can launch in some kind of add-on app store (e.g. Shopify app). The most important thing is to have a plan to find customers in that case.

Oh no. I am 20 year late to the party it seems. Video creation is extremely challenging endeavour though. I tried for some time but failed to create good videos. (Ironically, videos are still racking up organic views whereas I have to promote blog to popular sites to gain traction)
